From Staff Reports<\/h3>\n

The Beartooth Highway from the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone National Park to Red Lodge, Mont. is scheduled to open at 9 a.m. Friday, according to a statement released Wednesday by the National Park Service.<\/p>\n

The scenic, high-elevation portion of US-212 links Red Lodge with the Montana gateway communities of Cooke City and Silver Gate. Spring road clearing and maintenance is conducted by the Montana Department of Transportation and the National Park Service.<\/p>\n

Inside Yellowstone, the road over Dunraven Pass linking Canyon Village, Tower Fall and Tower Junction also opens for the season Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The two routes were the last sections of road in and around Yellowstone to be plowed this spring, with all other park roads and all park entrances already having opened for the season.<\/p>\n

Most seasonal visitor services in the park will be open in time for the Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n

Saturday also marks the opening of fishing season in the park. \u00a0Details are available online at http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yell\/planyourvisit<\/a>, by consulting the park newspaper handed out at entrance stations, or by asking the staff at visitor centers and information stations in and near the park.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and a chance of afternoon or evening thunderstorms for the three-day holiday weekend, with high temperatures in the 50s and low 60s, and overnight low temperatures near freezing. \u00a0Spring visitors to the park are encouraged to have flexible travel plans and to be prepared for a wide range of weather conditions.<\/p>\n

All communities near and on the way to Yellowstone are open all year, offering a wide range of recreation opportunities, activities, and services for visitors to the region.<\/p>\n

There will be no daytime travel delays or overnight road closures due to road construction during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. \u00a0Starting Tuesday morning, May 28, visitors should expect construction delays of up to 30 minutes on the road between Tower Fall and Canyon. \u00a0This section of road will also be closed every night between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. due to construction.<\/p>\n
